In Songmen Mountain of Panyang Lake, ever since the great monk burned down all the villages on the mountain, the fishing boats on the lake shore have disappeared, and Songmen Island has become a deserted island that no one cares about.
A month later, the lake was still the same lake, and the mountains were still the same mountains, but the people no longer looked like human beings.
The monk's hair has grown, his cassock looks like a scarf, and his body is criss-crossed with scars from swords, like ghostly talismans.
The tall and thin man looked even taller because he was as thin as a lightning bolt, and his right arm was broken. He looked very miserable with his unkempt appearance.
Lang Jun, who was carrying the sword case, was bare-chested. His originally fair skin was as red as if it had been boiled in boiling water. The muscles on his body were bulging with blue veins and the knife wounds looked like they were crawling with earthworms.
For more than a month, the great monk and Lei Denggao were like hammers that never rested day and night, hammering Li Taiping stronger and stronger.
Li Taiping originally thought that he would become a Grandmaster of the Soaring Sky Realm like Nangong Shou, but he did not expect that due to some strange combination of circumstances, he would become a Grandmaster of the Tianshu Realm.
Some people have been searching and working hard all their lives, but they are still at the ninth level. But Li Taiping crossed the third level in one battle, and then became a grandmaster. If anyone knew this, they would definitely think that God is unfair. Why does God love this kid so much?
.
In fact, everything Li Taiping got was not lucky. He survived being beaten for more than a month by two grandmasters, which can be regarded as a miracle. You must know that those two grandmasters were not sparring partners, but their men were merciless. It can be said that Li Taiping lived and died several times.
First line, if the Taoist heart were not strong, I would have pulled out the trump card behind me and chopped down these two lunatics with one sword.
Li Taiping hugged his arms and said with a smile: "I have said before that you two can't defeat me, and you don't believe me! If the fight continues, I will definitely send you to the underworld!"
The great monk looked at Lei Denggao, who shook his head and sighed: "No more fighting! Go back and see the donkey. Whether you live or die depends on the ancestor's mood!"
If Lei Denggao left, the great monk could not kill Li Taiping alone, so he had to say the Buddha's name: "Amitabha! How good, how good! The poor monk will go back to the temple to plead guilty, and never set foot in the world again!"
Li Taiping looked at the two of them and said, "It's settled! If we meet again in the world someday, don't blame me for being ruthless and settling the score with you two!"
Li Taiping said very forcefully, until he saw the two people walking on the lake and disappearing, he turned around and found a sheltered place and sat down.
This time Li Taiping couldn't get up. He had just broken through to the Grand Master level, and before his cultivation was stable, he fought fiercely with the two men and his body could no longer stand it. He was just holding on to intimidate the two guys.
If those two people still fight, he, Li Taiping, can either draw his sword and kill Jun, or simply wipe his own neck. There is no third way.
Li Taiping was spread out on the ground like a puddle of mud. He couldn't even move his fingers. He couldn't help praying in his heart that those two people would not fight back, otherwise the old man's background would be exposed, and it would be difficult to die even if he wanted to.
.
In a state of confusion, Li Taiping fell asleep and died...
The sun rises and the moon sets in cycles, and Songmen Island is as quiet as a ghost. I don’t know how long it took before Li Taiping woke up leisurely.
As soon as he woke up, Li Taiping sat up suddenly. He rummaged around his body with his hands and found that there were no missing parts. He let out a sigh of relief.
Li Taiping slept for three days and three nights. He woke up from hunger. Fortunately, he woke up from hunger, otherwise he might have slept to death.
Li Taiping was not in a hurry to leave Songmen Island, not because he was nostalgic for this place, but because he was so hungry that he had no strength. It was impossible not to walk on the waves or even swim. He didn't want to drown instead of being beaten to death.
I fed the fish in Panyang Lake...
There is an inconspicuous small town on the north bank of the Xunyang River. Because it is close to the Xunyang River, the people in the town started making a living by water.
Liu Tieniu is a strong man with dark skin. He travels to and from the ferry on both sides of the river every day to do the work of carrying people across the river. Liu Tieniu's boat cannot carry more than five or six people. At noon, Liu Tieniu has already made two trips back and forth. Liu Tieniu's business
Well, it's all because his boat is fast enough and is a famous fast boat in the ferry crossing between the two banks.
As soon as Liu Tieniu's clipper docked, he saw a man in green shirt coming up to him with a hot pancake in his hand. The man put the pancake into Tieniu's hand and said, "It's a cold day."
Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, I'll do the next job."
Tieniu laughed and said: "It can't be done! I know that Brother Taiping has martial arts skills, but the wind and waves on the Xunyang River are rough and not everyone can row the boat!"
"Brother Tieniu, don't worry, Taiping knows it well and will never destroy Brother Tieniu's golden signboard of Xunyangjiang No. 1 Clippers!" Li Taiping said with a smile.
Li Taiping has been in this town for more than a month and has been staying at Tieniu's house. Tieniu is a kind-hearted man. When he was crossing the river with Li Taiping that day, he heard that Li Taiping was looking for a place to live, so he took him directly to Tieniu's house.
Tieniu's house was right at the entrance of the town, with a small courtyard and a main house and a side room. His childhood life was pretty good, because Tieniu was willing to endure hardships and ran two more round trips every day than other boat runners.
Tieniu also has an old mother, who is still very strong. Every day at noon, she would drive several miles to the ferry to give Tieniu a bite of hot food.
Ever since Li Taiping moved into Tieniu's house, Li Taiping had taken over the task of delivering food at noon. Tieniu was an honest man, and the wing at home was empty anyway, so he let Li Taiping live for free without asking for anything.
Peaceful silver.
It would be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally to eat other people's food and live in other people's homes without helping them out. Li Taiping then thought of letting Tieniu rest and eat while he came to do this job.
As the two were talking, Tieniu's boat was filled with people. The woman holding the baby turned around and said, "Brother Liu family, don't be busy eating. Take your sister-in-law across the river first. Your brother Wang is still here."
My mother and son are waiting for me on the other side!"
Tieniu put the scones into his arms and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Tieniu will be here right now, and I will definitely send my sister-in-law across the river in less than an hour!"
The Xunyang River is nearly 20 miles wide. Generally speaking, a boat racer would not be able to reach the other side within an hour. Only Tieniu's physical strength and skills can do that.
Just as Tieniu was about to step onto the boat, he was overtaken by Li Taiping who was standing beside him. Li Taiping quickly untied the cable, picked up the boat pole and said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, just watch it! It's sure to be safe and stable."
quick."
Tieniu hurriedly warned: "Don't think about speed, seek stability first!"
Li Taiping nodded, turned around and said, "Young and old men, sit still!"
With that said, he pushed the boat to the beach and then left the ferry and sailed steadily into the river. Li Taiping was a boatman. When he and his master traveled around the rivers and lakes, he learned it on a whim from an old man who ran boats.
After a few poles were propped up, this technique became more and more skillful, and the boat became faster and faster. I saw that the boat was facing the wind and waves, and its speed was no less than that of a galloping horse. When had those on the boat ever been on such a fast boat, they couldn't help but nervously grasp it.
Standing on the hull of the boat, one of the men, a man dressed as a scholar, had a pale face and seemed to be frightened.
"Boatman, let's not be in a hurry, don't go so fast!" the scholar said worriedly.
The woman holding the baby smiled and said: "A man of seven feet is not as good as me, a woman! This boat is fast and stable, there is nothing to be afraid of! By the way, has the eldest brother ever been married? Is there someone he likes?"
?My cousin is from the village across the river. She is just over 28 years old. Not only is she good-looking, but she is also a good person at home and abroad. How about I help the elder brother to match her? "
The woman turned back to look at Li Taiping. Seeing that Li Taiping was handsome and good at rowing, if her cousin married him, she would have no worries about food and clothing. She couldn't help but want to be the matchmaker.
.
Li Taiping said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I don't have to worry about it. I have been married since I was a child, and I don't dare to worry about other wives!"
The woman sighed: "My parents' orders, the matchmaker's words! Alas! It seems that my cousin no longer has this blessing!"
The Tieniu family's boat was speeding in the river like a wild horse, which shocked other boating men and left them speechless...
"What's wrong with this silly boy Tieniu today? He's playing horns!" The old man who was punting the boat said in surprise as he looked at Tieniu's clipper.
I saw a group of merchants on the old man's boat looking at the speeding boat with envy and whispering: "If I had known better, I would have taken that boat and saved some time on the road!"
Li Taiping's boat was fast enough, and many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait saw it. They couldn't help but stop and watch, wanting to see who was behind the boat, especially the men who were running the boat, because the fast boat would affect future business.
of.
At the ferry on the other side of the river, a group of men were holding poles and frowning, looking at the approaching speedboat. One of them saw an old man saying: "Where's Mr. Du! We need to invite Mr. Du over quickly and take a look. This man
They are trying to ruin our business!"
"I just saw Mr. Du having a drink in Qian's shop!" said the tall and thin man.
The old man said hurriedly: "Why don't you hurry up and invite me? Boss Du will have to come forward to do this."
Boss Du is very famous on both sides of the Xunyang River. His grandfather was a lieutenant colonel in the army, and he learned martial arts from his grandfather. When he was young, Boss Du controlled the boat racing business on both sides of the river with just a big iron gun. In more than ten years,
If someone wants to run away from the boat, they need Boss Du’s nod.
Mr. Du is a generous person and doesn't have many rules. The only one is that any sailor who runs a boat can pay him a penny a day. This penny may be more or less, but the men who run boats on both sides of the Taiwan Strait never do it.
He would complain and sometimes even take the initiative to invite Mr. Du to a drink.
Men on both sides of the Taiwan Strait respect Mr. Du so much. That’s because all those who run a boat only want to blame Mr. Du. No matter what the problem is, Mr. Du will shoulder the responsibility and never say a word. Come here now.
Boss Du's tall and lanky man asked Boss Du for something, but hearing about it made people laugh.
It turned out that the tall and thin man was married to a dominatrix, and the woman would scold her man from time to time, and sometimes she would get angry and even take action. Seeing the tall and thin man with a bruised nose and face, someone gave him advice and asked him to beg.
Boss Du helps.
It stands to reason that even the government officials don't care about housework, but Boss Du did. That day, Boss Du took two jars of dirty wine to the lanky man's house to have a drink, and used the wine to threaten the evil woman, "If she dares to
If you insult my younger brother, I will throw you into the Xunyang River to feed the fish!".
Evil people must be punished by evil people, and that evil woman never dared to beat or scold her own man again. This incident spread to both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and Mr. Du truly became the backbone of the boat-running men. Anyone who has a big or small problem will come to him.
Boss Du helps.
No, after Boss Du heard what the tall and lanky man said, he came to the ferry carrying a big iron gun...
